Burned out by prohib,t,oa,.,r.

uHDANA, O., July o.-The village Of
Spring Hills, this county, is stirred up
over the burning Of the saloon Of Nc DON
aid & Carver this morning. The fire was
discoyered about one o'clock, when tho
building was in flames. 1t was a clear case
Of arson. An oil can used BY the incan-s
diaries was found near the building, No
effort was made to conceal the yay tha,
fire originated. There is a strong feeling
against the saloon in that village, and
threats were made that unless it WAS
abolished by law there would be another
way used to get rid OF it. The owners
have moved their saloon to another build,
ing, and determined to stay. There ia
every reason to believe that another effort
will be made to burn it out. There ia con-
siderable excitement over the matter, and
bitter fights will be- carried on between
the two elements. ...3.s 5-,iS IN

used for church purposes be placed in
jeopardy. 1t is not certain that the
present prudent management of parish
affairs will continue under future ad-
ministrators. 1t is the part of wisdom
SO to adjust the title of church property,
that in all chances and changes of the
coming time it may be held firmly to
its original purpose, or if necessarily
sold, its value may be applied to kim
dred purposes.

Has the Universalist church kept
pace in spiritual development with the
progress of its financial affairsp Who
can tell, save Him who searches heartsp
The seed of Truth is sown in faith. Its
fruitage is not observable by outward
inspection. The proclamation of the
Universal Fatherhood, of the Universal
Saviourhood, Of the Universal Brother
hood, and of the Universal Home, with
the Universal Obligation of Righteous
ness and its Universal Sanctions, must.
where it is received, bring forth the
fruit of the Spirit. And therefore it is
that we rejoice in the broader work of
the Christian pulpit in churches not Of
our communion. "Holy and Reverend
is His Name" who rules the worlds.
and Loving and triumphant; and as
the fullness a1d power of His love
dawns upon the human soul, what can
be but new birth and baptismp
We close with a quotation from our
report of 1877: mo religion that ever
blessed the world may be SO intensely
loved as ours. The Universalist should
love his church more than any other
style Of Christian can. If it be not so
lovable, let him make it what it ought
to be, and maintain its beauty and glory
before the world. He who loveth his
wife loveth himself; he who loves his
church loves HIMSELF he who despises
her despises himself; he who scorns her
scorns himself. Our church is ourselves.
We are the parishes; we are the State
Conventions; we are the General Con-
vention. When we all learn to say
'we,' in regard to all the interests of
our church, we shall secure by our 10y
atty an abundant and royal fruitage."

Four have withdrawn to other denom-
nations, one to secular life. Five have
entered our ministry from other
churches. Twenty-eight persons have
received license to preach among us.
The additions have thus been 80; the
loss 16; the net gain II.
The subject of the ministry received
prominent attention at the last session,
and the Secretary was INSTRUCTED to
correspond with the officers of each
State Convention, with a view of hav-
ing committee in each on this sub
ject." Such committees were appoint
ed in number of the States, and have
agitated the subject in its various as
poets. At the sessions of State Con-
ventions addresses have been delivered
upon the ministry, its advantages, and
the inducements it presents to those
choosing their life-work. Among
these is the essay prepared for and pub
lished by the Wisconsin Convention:
"Choice of Profession: What the Min
istry Says to Those Selecting Their
Life work; by Rev. Everett L. Conger,
A. M" 1t makes a convenient tract
for free circulation, and well sets forth
the advantages Of the ministry as pro-
fession to those having the necessary
qualifications, spiritual and intellectual.
The agitation of this subject has borne
evident fruit, as is seen in the large in
crease of applicants for entry into our
theological schools.
We tabulate [Appendix VI the sta
tistics received by the Secretary from
State Secretaries. Comparison with
last year is thus shown:

except in the one item already refer

Early in the year application was
made to us for aid in securing for the
parish in Oshkosh, Wis, the lot on
which formerly stood the Universalist
church, destroyed some years before by
fire. 1t was thought that the property
had been uDjustly and Illegally alienat-
ed; and the Board was requested to take
measures at law, if necessary, to recov-
er the property. A committee were in
structed to visit Oshkosh, and ascertain
the true condition of affairs. They con-
Guided that the representations of the
condition of the property made to the
Board were just, and that the legal title
to it was in the parish. They recon-
mended that the property be conveyed
to the General Convention, and in case
of such conveyance, that suit for pos
session should be begun in the name of
the Convention. The conveyance was
accordingly made, and suit was begun;
but before it came to trial, the property
was found to be part of piece of land
selected by the National Government
for government building; and the
Board, with the concurrence of the par
ish, ''St Johns Church" sold its inter-
est in the property, receiving therefor
the net sum, after deducting legal ex.
penses, of 81, 1888 70, which the General
Convention holds as trustee for the
Oshkosh parish, and is to be applied,
with its product, to the future purchase
of lot for church purposes in that city.
Messrs. David and Porter Cummings,
of Boston, Mass, have generously con-
veyed to the Convention the church ed
ifice at South Berwick, Me-, built and
owned by them. The property was
decided to us Internationally, but is
held for the present use of our parish
in that town.
The lot recently purchased by the
parish in Oakland, Cal, has been con-
veyed to us, and will be reconveyed at
a proper time in the future, with the
usual restrictions.
The church property at Waverly,
Iowa, has heen sold, with the consent
of the parish, producing $500, which
has been paid into the treasury of the
General Convention, and set apart as
the Waverly (Iowa) Fund. By resolu-
ton, the Board declared that the in
come of the fund should be appropriated
to the use of the Iowa Convention for
missionary purposes until otherwise
ordered.
The Waverly church property was
one of the first decided to the General
Convention. Since that time, great
change has taken place in the pOpula-
ton of the town. Removals have greatly
depopulated all the older churches, and
a German Lutheran colony has come to
the place.
Local changes cannot be foreseen.

We have no means of estimating the
gifts, contributions, and other income
to the State Conventions. The active
work of most of these began within the
closing decade, or but little earlier.

will grow into larger and larger proper

We again suggest the pre-eminent
Importance of the enterprises at Oak
land, st. Paul, Lincoln, Indianapolis
and Albany while we have ventured
to authorize mission to Richmond,
Va. To enable us to carry on this en-
terprise, which has taken on promis-
ing aspect, while we continue the class
of work which has heretofore demanded
and still insists upon our attention, will
require larger contributions than we
have hitherto enjoyed. But we have
relied somewhat upon the earnestness
with which missions in the Southern
States have been urged. The Oakland
(Cal.) Parish has secured an eligible
building lot, and now only needs suit
able church edifice to assure its perma-
nence. The st. Paul movement wins
it's way to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. The 4th Parish of Brooklyn,
N. Y, are engaged in building, in view
of which we have granted aid while
the movement at Albany only rests for
the lack of few hundreds, which,
when obtained, will secure our contri-
button of thousand dollars. We trust
that the necessary means will soon be
obtained, and the success of the move.
ment at the Capital of the Empire State
be assured for all time. Among other
hopeful missionary enterprises which
we have been called upon to favor is
that on the s'north side" of Chicago.
This is the result of action by the Mis-
sionary Committee of the Illinois Con-
vention, backed by the personal gener-
osity Of the Chicago Universalists. The
Church of our Father bids fair to
stand beside st. Paul's and the Church
of the Redeemer in prosperity and
efficiency.
